Mo is inspired by surrealism, fantasy, nature, the human body, emotion, the senses, movement and geometric patterns playing with contrasting values of light and shadow creating beautiful illusions on the skin. She loves to make designs ranging between fine-line, botanical, graphic and bold, floral, surrealism, portraiture, animals, symbolism, black and grey, color, muted tones, freehanding to flow with the body, woodcut style, engraver style, calligraphy, sigilism, futuristic, old world and more.

Mo views tattooing as a way to honor bodily autonomy, as the marks and designs enhance how we feel in our skin, supporting us to feel more at home.

Mo is a multi faceted, multi- disciplinary artist and has been a metal worker using traditional skills and techniques of blacksmithing and as a welder. She has also worked as a carpenter and contractor, a traveling musician and has visited many different countries and plans to continue traveling and learning about different cultures.

Born in South Korea, Mo immigrated with her family to the US in 1999. She has always been drawn to visual art and drawing as a small child. As a teenager she had some classical training in fine art as well as mural making.

She received her first tattoo machine in 2010 at 17 but had no mentor and pursued leaving her home of western MA to see the world to experience the school of life after some traumatic events.

After a long wild ride of constant travel and playing music on the road, Mo pursued a career in carpentry and then moved on to go to school for blacksmithing and worked as a full time welder/fabricator making and installing custom architectural structures in Austin TX.

When 2020 arrived Mo realized that her work was no longer fulfilling her creative spirit. Experiencing burn out, this was the beginning of a journey, exploring and transforming the narratives and identities Mo had adopted in order to survive in this world.

During the 2020 lockdown, Mo touched back into her roots of drawing on paper and received a tattoo machine for the 2nd time in 10 years. She found an apprenticeship in southern VT where she began to tattoo full time at the end of 2022.

Since then, she has poured most of her energy into her tattooing craft. Always open to expand her knowledge and skills as well as improving how she can better serve her clients with a great experience.

Social justice advocacy is a passion Mo holds close to her heart and is currently navigating how to weave the passion for justice and art making together.
